Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Playing music, adjusting volume, stereo balance, reverb, equalizer (when it's on ;) ) I noticed no problems with anything I tested.
What does not
Visual glitches when moving windows - for example if you drag the extended playlist / track info window behind the main one, you can get it to disappear. Dragging the main window around results in tearing and general wonkiness. It is also possible to get the window to disappear completely. The wings of the main window are drawn over it, so if you drag them in you obscure your view. There are also some issues with draw order when focus changes.
What was not tested
Um, I think I pressed all the buttons and nothing exploded.
Additional Comments
I think the only thing keeping this from Platinum is the window movement problems, which has no impact on usage, unless you try hard enough and get the main window to disappear. All functions I tested seemed flawless. I had no problems starting from a freshly unzipped copy.

@goodgod261 - Hi. No, it's not a plugin-issue, I don't have any!
@Alexander - Hi. I've just temporarily deleted my .Wine folder and created a new Wine setup, then ran xmplay 3.6 - works without a hitch! Restore the 'old' Wine and it crashes like before - so there seems to be something pre-installed that xmplay doesn't like. Unfortunately, not really a solution for me as I have quite a lot of M$ software already installed that I don't want to have to redo. Thanks for the tip though.
Doesn't work for me...

After downloading the latest & greatest xmplay 3.6 and finding it crashes everytime a new tune is to be played, either automatically or manually selected, I then found this recommendation, so downloaded version 3.4. No difference with the current Wine version, it crashes just the same. Changing the Wine OS configuration didn't help either...
This was an attempted 'upgrade' - I had xmplay 2.8 installed and it works perfectly.
Xmplay Window Disappearing
by Peter Mc on Monday March 1st 2010, 22:05
I viewed what happened to Xmplay with Nirsoft's WinExplorer and it appears that the cause (and remedy) relates to the way the window behaves (sometimes) as it is dragged to a new position by the mouse.
Sometimes the window particularly the tracklist/info window (Window class name XMPLAY-INFO) accelerates and ends up with non standard x,y coordinates. I wrote this short program with AutoHotkey which basically checks the Xmplay's windows every 5 seconds and resets the coordinates to 0,0 if the windows gain unusual coordinates which I set at beyond 800,600. This code works under WINE though actual hotkeys themselves don't.

; X,Y position negative (Nirsoft WinXplorer reports negative window
; positions when Xmplay dissappears after dragging).

Return
needed ini-file
by Fraggy Fragmore on Tuesday February 19th 2008, 14:12
Just took note that XMPlay is only working, if the same copy of the app has been run once under windows. On first time run it creates an configuration file "xmplay.ini" which is essential for further startups. If the file is missing (or not created yet) XMPlay crashes instantly under wine.
